Quite interesting is also their approach to finding positions via voting on an open online platform (which is open sourced by the way: http://www.public-software-group.org/liquid_feedback ) where each member can vote itself and also delegate its vote for different topics to other members.

I didn't know that. I was dreaming of a party that voted like this based on the input of all it's constituents since ten years or so. Maybe I should move to Berlin after all!

You can even participate if you are not a party member.

And that's what their long term vision also includes: Large scale, direct, participation (using digital means) of many people in the political process. They call this concept "Liquid democracy"
